VI BIENNIAL of HUMOUR "LUIZ D'OLIVEIRA GUIMARAES" ESPINHAL/PENELA 2018, Portugal
An Organization: Municipality of Penela / Junta de Freguesia do Espinhal
A production: Humorgrafe - Artistic Director: Osvaldo Macedo de Sousa (humorgrafe.oms@gmail.com / humorgrafe@hotmail.com)
1 - Theme:
a) "The Life Cycle" - we invite artists from around the world to philosophise about the existence, as each culture faces life and death, what ritual symbologies do to overcome terror to the unknown beyond. Is death just a meditation of life, or an anecdote that fears the daily life of eternity? We do not want to live here in death, but to honor life with humor and optimism in moments like the one in 2018 in which the centenary of the Armistice of the Great War of 1914/18 is recalled, the mother of all the other wars that during the century. XX and that today through the said terrorism of fundamentalists, it continues present in the contemporary society. How can we praise the perenniality of the spirit, instead of cultivating a society that finances the death of humanity and the planet?
b) Caricatures of Leonor d'Oliveira Guimarães who was the promoter of this Biennial. See photos on humorgrafenews.
